Mie Fujitsu Semiconductor is a pure-play foundry based on 300mm wafer manufacturing facilities located in Mie prefecture, Japan. We provide wafer foundry services at 90nm to 40nm, focusing on "ultra-low power" and "embedded non-volatile memory" technologies. To realize ultra-low power consumption, we adopted “DDC” (Deeply Depleted Channel) technology. "DDC" is a unique technology having transistors that can work at ultra-low voltage and leak. "Plug-In Flash" is our new technology which enables to manufacture an embedded flash memory on a generic logic process, without affecting the characteristics of transistors and other devices. Through our high value-added technologies and services, we contribute to realization of a smart society. http://www.fujitsu.com/jp/mifs/en/.
